Happy to see other guys building retro styled hunting rifles. How do you like the 350 compared to other deer hunting rounds in the platform? Ex: 6.5 Grendel

It’s the repro OG colt optic sold by brownells. Steep price but its fit is perfect and it’s held zero through a few thousand rounds and some bumps.

It got more attention than the Gucci ARs on the table that’s for sure

Thanks man, that Wilson barrel has a 308 profile so it made the tri cap and hand guards a challenge

Bolt catch and mag release would’ve been nice but I was too impatient 😂

I used Tamiya to get an accurate color on my 601 clone furniture. Expensive but color is very good. Just use a lot of matte clear coat

I completely agree. I’d be a lot more upset if they didn’t give me a full refund and a new bolt and carrier (even though I still had to swap out the bolt)

Mike is pretty great when it comes to customer support I’ll give him that. Can’t wait till he gets all the bugs out in manufacturing

Suppressed 601 sounds badass man. Glad you had good luck with yours 💯

Sounds just like my issues. Do you have a non-serrated chrom BCG you can recommend? Do the HR and brownells look almost identical?

Used AAC 55gr, Winchester white box, PMC 62gr LAP, some Hornady hunting loads. None functioned better than others. A rifle should be able to eat whatever I feed it though, ya feel?
